Yes. There is no "ether". Radio "waves" are not really waves. Your
opinions on this are about 70 years behind the times.

ahhh. I thought so. You are the one whose antenna is firing those
protons!

Not protons, photons. You are totally clueless, aren't you?

Mike


No. protons - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton


No, photons.


It's a particle that has no mass, yet it can impart momentum and it
travels through space or air in a transverse wave motion but it is not a
wave and it has no charge but it carries the force of electromagnetic
fields as it travels through space.

I'm sticking with Maxwell for now.
